What are the most popular UK Universities on X (formerly Twitter)? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2023 X University Ranking of all UK higher-education institutions on X meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate UK higher education-related organization in each country
offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
